I had a couple concussions back in the day, and I'm fine. Ski racing after hours - helmets are a wise choice.
Did I tell you I'm fine? Ning ning, yoot yoot -
the real danger to brain health is not helmet-to-helmet contact but drugs and alcohol.unfrozencaveman said:I had a couple concussions back in the day, and I'm fine. Ski racing after hours - helmets are a wise choice.

Don't disagree, but what's the statue (sic) of limitations? The class action you linked includes a couple players from the 70's?

The symptoms they state for concussions are total bullshit. If you see stars, you have a concussion, blah, blah, blah. Not that concussions aren't serious, but I bet Sean Parker sees stars 4 times per game. Hitting big dudes fucking hurts and takes a toll, it's the way the game is. Take that away, and there is no football. I never played past high school, but I saw stars once or twice every single game.
It's the same thing about keeping your head up. If you are smaller and keep your head up, you are going to get trucked by a big RB. Lowering the head and spearing them in the knee is the way all little guys need to tackle big guys. It's so obvious some of the guys who are so big on limiting head injuries have never played the game. -
never lower your head when tackling... never. It's the quickest way to be paralyzed.RoadDawg55 said:The symptoms they state for concussions are total bullshit.

I don't really disagree, but there is no other way for little guys to tackle. People who say otherwise, never were small and had to tackle a much bigger back. The helmet to the kneecap is the only way to get to get a guy down.ApostleofGrief said:

Ok. Lets ban everything people do that might cause head injuries.CollegeDoog said:MikeDamone said:Lets ban everything people do that might cause a injury.
Head injuries are different hth -
If you have to tackle with your helmet down, don't play football! The first thing they teach you as a kid is never drop your helmet down because that's how you get paralyzed. I'm no lover of the human race but I'd hate to think some kid reads this and goes out and tries it. Keep that head UP!RoadDawg55 said:

No shit, they teach you to keep your head up. I'm just saying if you are a 5'8" 150 pound corner and you try and form tackle a 200 pound RB, you are getting ran over. The only way you are getting him down is to put your helmet into his shin or knee. It's pretty hard to keep your head up when it is only 18 inches from the ground.ApostleofGrief said:

I see your point. But, you can still keep the angle of your head up, so you can see the player is what I mean. You don't want to come in with your head pointed to the ground.RoadDawg55 said:
